2-2 and three words to utter that most definitely affected Hibs tonight - 'the Fontaine injury'!! We were fine until that moment when Fonts forced off the park. Bartley ushered in to the CH position by Lenny and a sudden imbalance appeared between mid and back four with Rocky ending up with the MOTM award with a terrific display of goalkeeping in a very open game. I've previously debated our CH predicament and the weakness has been exposed by Fontaine's expected injury - unluckily lost Forster, Hanlon and now it's Fonts - same position hammered and do we now need emergency cover? Also Fyvie recovering from the debilitating effects of the 'vomiting bug'. As for John McGinn, I don't believe he has reached full match fitness yet, following his op, and we'd be expecting a great deal following a high energy match v Hearts. Hence, looking positively at this draw, we've lost no ground at the top of the Championship, Marciano's terrific display has boosted my confidence in Hibs eventually pushing on to lifting the Championship title. My main concern is the frailty of our CH position due to ill luck on a position that was reasonably well covered!!
